PIWI
Welcome to the new Era!
Piwi wines, from the German acronym Pilzwiderstandfähig (mushroom-resistant vine), represent the stage of a journey into an as-yet unexplored world that, we are certain, will mark the beginning of a new era of viticulture.
A journey we tell step by step thanks to storytelling labels and a new dragonfly, an ambassador for clean agriculture.

PIWI grape varieties: toward increasingly sustainable agriculture!
PIWI vines are obtained through pollination between Vitis Vinifera and American vines, which, cross after cross, have been found to be capable of naturally opposing fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and downy mildew. The first experiments were developed in France between 1880 and 1935, but it was not until 1950 that more complex crosses of PIWI vines that we know today began to be created.
Thanks to their high resistance to typical vine diseases, such as powdery mildew and downy mildew, treatments are reduced by 60 to 99 percent per year, toward increasingly sustainable agriculture.
PIWI varieties produce wines with somewhat different characteristics than native varieties. They are generally more perfumed wines, with distinct hints of both fruit and flowers, wines with a more intense taste and greater persistence.

piwi: happy wine
What happens when an innovative wine meets a unique artist? Something special is born, smelling of adventure, curiosity and love. This is how the collaboration between our winery and the art of Silvia Tosi, an illustrator with an unmistakable stroke, was born to tell - with new eyes and new colors - the soul of our PIWIs.
An interpretation that took shape live, at Vinitaly 2025, where Silvia decorated two bottles, transforming them into unique works.
